You wrote,[...people..join because of the supportive posts...].
I am unsure as to what you want readers to think. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
True or False:
A. People can know if a post is supportive or not.
B. The way that readers can know if a post is supportive or not is if the post is sanctioned or not.
C. The rule here is that being supportive takes precedence and that posters are to be civil at all times. This can mean to a subset of readers that if a statement in a post is not sanctioned, then it is considered to be civil and supportive here.
D. If a reader sees a statement that could put down the faith of another and it is not sanctioned, they could think that it is supportive and civil.
E. If an anti-Semitic statement is unsanctioned, a subset of readers could think that anti-Semitism is supportive and leave on that basis or if they are considering enrolling, to not do so as that they could think that the site is an anti-Semitic site.
